The lanes brought in $800,000 in tolls and $200,000 in fees and other revenue. But they cost $3.2 million to operate, and carried price tags of $7 million in financing costs and $2.1 million in depreciation.

The Examiner says the figures come from documents shown to investors by Express Lanes operator Transurban and were reported by TOLLROADSnews. The figures are reportedly in Australian dollars, which are similar in value to U.S. currency.
